PRESS COMMENT.

What Some Of the Leading Papers Say of tho
CIemency Movement.
NEW YORK, Nov. Under the head of
''Facts vs.. Gush," the Tribune this morning
SAYS:
I'VE feel that we are performing pu bic serv-
vice in laying before our readers the summary
we print on another page of the decision of the
Illinois Supreme Court in the Anarchist cases.
We ask all persons whose faith in the justice
of the conviction these men may have been
shaken by the loud talk of socialist demaeoeues
and the soft hearted appeals of sentimentaiists,
to read it. These people have had most of the
talk to themselves. while the great patient pub-
lie has been silent The result has been that
many weli-meaning persons, whose sympathies
are with justice, are getting the Impression that
these men are TO be hanged for Expressing
opinions The truth is, the contrary that
they are to be hanged for participation in one of
the most deliberate and diabolcal conspiracies
for murder and assassination ever devised by
man; that their com licity is proved by long
array of evidence, that under the law of Illinois
which would seem to be also the law of common
sense and common justice, each one of them
is guilty the man who fred the bomb We
doubt very much whether the few cergymen and
the other humanitarians who have been led into
mistaken movement for clemency have any
proper knowledge of the facts. 1t is difficult to
understand, on any other supposition the sym-
pathy some of them have expressed with these
men who have been convicted after long and
careful trial, and the justice of hose conviction
was unanimously confirmed by the highest
court in the State upon laborious and patient
United States Supreme Court did not 60 into
the merits of the case and could not, but the
Illinois Supreme Court did. and we believe
every reasonable man who reads the summary
we print will be convinced that when these men
are hanged only simple Justice will be done. We
wish we had the space to show. Also more of
the manner in which these men spoke and
wrote in their newspapers, not under the infu-
ence of excitement, but in cold blood in order
to incite the masses to violence We should
probably hear less of them then as objects of
sentimental interest and hear less of the half
yelled liberation with which they are regarded
as men who really believe that the social order
is all wrong, and that they ought to be allowed
to right it with dynamite. The spirit of Guiteau
was peace itself compared with the malignity of
these human rattlesDakes. They should be
crushed under foot because under the laws of
the country they have earned death.
The World says: IF the police not to be
protected by the laws in the discharge of their
duty. they can scarcely be expected to over
exert themselves IN that particular. The issue
is mainly between the propriety of vindicatins
the laws and the sentimental dislike to taking
human life"

Rev. DIR. Joseph Parker the famous London
preacher. who is spending few days in this
city. at the Burnet House yesterday by
Commercial Gazette reporter. In reply to an
inquiry concerning his opinion of Mr.. Sturgeon
the Doctor said:
Concerning Mr.. Spurgeon 1 have to say
everything that is personally respectful He is
devoted. generous and faithful in rare degree.
Many who oppose his theology would do well to
initiate his practical benevolence. You must
understand there is a distinction between the
two. look upon Mr.. Sturgeon false to the
true Interpretation of the evangelical faith. He
knows nothing acout it. He cannot. in the fog
which surrounds him. representthe feelings and
the glory of the love of God. Mr.. Sturgeon is a
blgoted Calvinist and all the more in that he
does not grasp the whole philosophy of Calvin
ism He is heroically true to what he sees, but
he sees only the northeast corner of that gloomy
structure. Without a shadow of doubt he Is
acting conscientiously, but let conscience under
take the patronage of prejudice. and you will
see prime specimen of the most pedantic
Pharlseeism. Divorce conscience from charity
and no hell will be hot enough for those who op-
pose it, Conscience itself, needs looking after.
Those who think Mr.. Surgeons secession will
destroy the Baptist Union. the body from which
he seeded, make me smile. No man can de-
stroy the Baptist Union. Mr.. Spurgeon had no
influence in the Union DIR. Clifford, Richard
Glover, Dr. Angus, Dr. Green and others are
the leaders of that energetic body. / certainly
do not look upon Mr.. Surgeons views as or

Christ died for some men to the exclusion of
others. or who believes IN the infallibility of

himself Only they orthodox who love as
Christ loved. Undoubtedly theology in England

ment of Dr. Barker, the oculist aud aurist in the
Martindale Block, for the last few days, was
| just starting for home, when met by the writer.
and the following conversation occurred which
is given as an index of the esteem in which Dr.
Barker is held by his patients:
How long have your eyes been troubling YOU
| Mr.. DuBois7'
| 1t is about fifteen years since first noticed
| that they were failing; however it is only eight
| or ten months since the sight became OBSCURE
| Had you made no effort to have them cured

eyes, indeed. They all said they could cure
me, but they never did it,"
What was the matter with your eyesa"
That's question that puzzled the doctors,
as well myself. Some said one thing and
some another, until I came here Dr. Barker
said had a cataract, which he removed by an
operation that was neither painful nor protract-
ed, and now am all right"

More than satisfied. He has done a splendid
job for me; besides, he charged me much less
than | expected to pay. III tell you, sir he is a
great man in his profession. If you have any
friends needing his services tell them to see him
while they have the opportunity. Well, must
